If there's one thing we learned about Panini America's 2016 Flawless Soccer product released over the summer, it's this: There is serious demand for high-end soccer products done right. Boasting a can't-miss mix of beautiful aesthetics and absolutely stacked rosters of autograph and memorabilia cards, 2016 Flawless Soccer created an industry-wide heat wave that rivaled anything Mother Nature delivered. News flash: Another heat wave is on the way to warm up your December.

Set to arrive in hobby shops across North America on Wednesday, Panini America’s 2016-17 Noir Soccer offers a stark contrast to the traditionally clean Flawless feel with a distinctly dark color scheme and an equally impressive content mix. Although each box of 2016-17 Noir Soccer advertises three autographs and two memorabilia cards, most boxes will over-deliver on that claim.
In the Quality Control Gallery that follows, we showcase a little bit of everything that makes Noir’s soccer debut so impressive, including two distinctly different base sets, the spectacular Spotlight Signatures insert and a robust checklist of signing superstars making their on-card debuts for Panini America. In fact, the list is so strong we’re including in its entirety now:
Aaron Ramsey |
Alvaro Morata |
Andres Iniesta |
Anthony Martial |
Antoine Griezmann |
Carlos Bacca |
Cesc Fabregas |
Daley Blind |
David Alaba |
Dele Alli |
Edin Dzeko |
Edinson Cavani |
Gary Cahill |
Graziano Pelle |
Isco |
Ivan Perisic |
Ivan Rakitic |
Jamie Vardy |
Kevin De Bruyne |
Luka Modric |
Marko Arnautovic |
Martin Skrtel |
Matteo Darmian |
Memphis Depay |
Neymar Jr. |
Nikola Kalinic |
Olivier Giroud |
Paco Alcacer |
Patrice Evra |
